Hiya Volks Folks.
For your consideration we have this 1962 cabriolet.
It's dressed to look like a 1958.
It's on a 1966 pan, & is registered as such.

- Front disks ( your standard Ghia swap )
- New tires
- Recent front end rebuild ( ball joint boots dried out already though )
- Select-a-drop
- Stainless braided brake lines.
- New master cylinder.
- Powder coated wheels
- Good running 1600 single port
- The body is very solid
- Top frame is pretty complete with great glass ( only missing latches )
- New windshield, rubber & trim
- Correct convertible rear seat & low back front seats included
- It's very close to daily driver status now.
- It runs & drives, but I wouldn't trust it at highway speeds just yet.
- A lot more new parts ! receipts included.

** The car is pretty solid, but does have small holes in the passenger side pan.
I'd replace the lower body rails too, but they are solid enough to drive on.
The package tray has already been replaced
If you want to paint it, it'll need some body work. I think it looks cool as is though.
It's missing the side glass & window regulators.
The wiring has been chewed on by someone who didn't know what they were doing....I'm working on it.
Of course, it needs all the soft goodies, but you know how cheap that stuff is.

I picked this up for a summer driver & thought about selling it in the fall.
Let's face it, that's not the time to sell a convertible.
I'll be working on it daily & updating as needed.
It's being offered at no reserve.
If bidding doesn't reach a respectable level, I'll pull the listing & keep building it.
Get your bids in early.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have & more pictures will be added upon request.

On May-05-14 at 19:40:46 PDT, seller added the following information:

I understand.....everyone wants to know what kind of value I put on the car. Since you're looking at the listing, you already know what it's worth.
If it gets close to what I have invested ( not including labor ) by Sunday, the auction will run to completion.
I really don't mind finishing the car & making all the profit.
You know it's "vert season" & this one turns heads. I'd be a fool to sell it in fall & next summer is ... well, next summer.

Good luck to all bidders & thanks for looking.

On May-07-14 at 04:30:04 PDT, seller added the following information:

Added a few more pictures, thus maxing out what eBay will allow.

I think I can attach more pictures to question replies, so if you request pictures & also want to send a phone number, use separate messages ( so I'm not posting your phone number to the public ) *** as you can see, the lower rails are pretty solid, I just planned on replacing them next winter so people aren't worried about a couple tiny holes.

From the way things look today, I should be able to get a full speed road test in this week, I'm just waiting on a couple parts.

On May-09-14 at 04:07:27 PDT, seller added the following information:

Ok, so I guess I CAN'T post public replies with pictures....the "post as public" check box gets blocked out when I add pictures. eBay should fix that

Anyway, I'm throwing time & money at this car as as if I were going to keep it. I'm still waiting on an beam seal from AppleTree so I can do an alignment, it should be here today. The wiring is coming along very well, professionally done of course. ( soldered & shrink wrapped where needed....also picked up a later model front harness ) I'm looking to give her a good shakedown tomorrow night.

Bidding is ... well, not exactly where I feel comfortable just yet. ( pretty close though ) I'm a betting man, so if we get a little closer, I'll let it run.

I'm working on a lot of stuff you wont notice, unless I didn't do it. I'll continue building it as if it'll be my driver & still haven't decided if I'll relist this year. I'll probably be having too much fun with it to do so.

German judge 'inclined to dismiss' hedge fund lawsuit against Porsche

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Last year, around two dozen investors, including hedge funds, leveled a 1.4 billion euro ($1.95 billion at the time) lawsuit against Porsche in connection with the automaker's attempted takeover of Volkswagen in 2008. The Stuttgart Regional Court dismissed the case. Around 19 of those plaintiffs are heading back to court to appeal the ruling and still hope to get 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion). However, according to one German judge, the chances for success aren't any better this time around. "On balance it's our view that we consider the lawsuit, or the appeal, to be unpromising for several reasons," Gerhard Ruf, a judge in Stuttgart, said to Reuters. "We are inclined to dismiss the case." The court's ruling on the appeal will be announced on March 26. The investors' case hinges on Porsche's strategy surrounding the botched takeover. The sports car maker said that it wasn't trying to control VW, when in fact it was. These hedge funds had bet against Volkswagen stock, but the share price surged when Porsche's plan inevitably came to light. Investors have sued the sports car company multiple times since then in attempts to recoup billions of dollars. However, none of the lawsuits have been successful, whether attempted in the US or Germany. Former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and and CFO Holger Haerter might still stand trial for the alleged stock manipulation, though.

VW will need to recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Volkswagen Group's diesel emissions scandal continues to spread, and now the automaker must recall 323,700 diesel vehicles in India because of too much pollution, according to Bloomberg. The campaign covers models from several of the group's brands including VW, Audi, and Skoda. The Automotive Research Association of India first discovered the emissions irregularities after conducting its own real world and lab tests, and the Indian government then commanded VW to explain what was happening. The country's regulators will allow the automaker to set the recall schedule for the repairs, according to a government official who spoke to Bloomberg, and the campaign will likely happen in phases. Among the affected vehicles, there will be about 100,000 from the VW brand including the Jetta, Passat, and some variants of the Polo. VW already has repairs for some of the affected diesel engines in Europe, and the company can allegedly fix the emissions problem with new software and small hardware changes. The situation is harder in the US where regulators still need to approve any proposed solutions, and VW also must now recall its 3.0-liter V6 TDI in California to eliminate other problematic code. The German automaker faces investigations from regulators all over the world into its emissions evasions, and they could be quite costly. One estimate already suggests the minimum price of the potential repairs, fines, and other expenses at about $24.5 billion. Officials in Brazil have already fined the company $13 million for pollution issues with the diesel Amarok pickup and requested a recall to fix them.
